Benralizumab: Effectiveness in Patients with Uncontrolled Severe Eosinophilic Asthma at 6 and 12 Months at a Third-Level Care Hospital. Capacity for ICS-LABA Therapy Reduction by González-Tuyub YH, González-Iñiguez KD, Lizarazo-Guiza PC, García-García SR

“…Biologic treatments such as benralizumab have demonstrated effectiveness as aids in decreasing respiratory tract inflammation and improving the management of symptoms in patients living with asthma.Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of benralizumab as an add-on therapy for patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma and elevated blood eosinophil counts.Methods: Observational, analytic and ambispective study in 21 patients diagnosed with severe eosinophilic asthma treated with benralizumab, to determine the treatment’s effectiveness through the change in estimated respiratory function by spirometry through the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) value, reduction in second controlling treatment, serum eosinophil reduction, change in the Asthma Control Test score and the Asthma Control Questionnaire test at 6 and 16 months of treatment.Results: An average difference of 241.43 mL (± 461.43) in FEV1 at 6 months was found, as well as an average FeNO reduction of 49.8 ppm and eosinophil reduction of 612.78 cells at 12 months of treatment, additionally, CSI requirements were reduced in 95% of patients.Conclusion: Benralizumab improved respiratory function as well as key biomarkers such as eosinophil count, exhaled nitric oxide fraction (FeNO), which reflected in a decreased requirement of inhaled corticosteroids and improved symptom control.Keywords: asthma, eosinophils, benralizumab, biologics, CSI-LABA therapy…”

Building Up a Robust Risk Mathematical Platform to Predict Colorectal Cancer by Le Zhang, Chunqiu Zheng, Tian Li, Lei Xing, Han Zeng, Tingting Li, Huan Yang, Jia Cao, Badong Chen, Ziyuan Zhou

“…For this reason, this study collects relatively complete information of genetic variations and environmental exposure for both CRC patients and cancer-free controls; a multimethod ensemble model for CRC-risk prediction is developed by employing such big data to train and test the model. Our results demonstrate that (1) the explored genetic and environmental biomarkers are validated to connect to the CRC by biological function- or population-based evidences, (2) the model can efficiently predict the risk of CRC after parameter optimization by the big CRC-related data, and (3) our innovated heterogeneous ensemble learning model (HELM) and generalized kernel recursive maximum correntropy (GKRMC) algorithm have high prediction power. …”
